Please note that this event has been cancelled due to illness. It will be rescheduled for the 29th May (13:00-14:00 in the RAS).
Professor Carolina Lithgow-Bertelloni will show in her talk how the interior of the Earth (and other terrestrial planets) is extremely dynamic, giving rise to large changes in topography that can even control biogeographic dispersal. She will compare Earth to other planets and spend a few minutes covering the data and modelling techniques used to study Earth's and other planetary interiors.

She uses both computational and laboratory methods and she is deeply grounded in observations.
